which model framus is this?

[wietse]

picked it up a few weeks ago all painted white, i managed to rescue the original finish beneath but still it's ugly as hell and going for sale.
but curious what model name this one has.

btw great work on updating this site, the new forum is great improvement.

Hi wietse,

You have definitely unearthed an unusal Framus. It is pictured in Elektro-Gitarren but even the authors don't know much about it. Here is the description: "Framus guitar not mentioned in any catalog, therefore number and name could not be determined; 1964". Glad you dropped by . sb

thanks nice to hear that it's that unusual, i was planning to let it go for about 100 euro better hang on to it a little bit longer until i get a good price for it.
btw ever seen such a nice neckjoint on a bolt on anywhere else?

that's one thing i like a lot on this guitar almost looks like a set neck.

Hi Wietse !
well I think this is a set neck.I've a few Framus Strato's with the same(set-)neck.It's just another place to put the strap pin I suppose.

[wietse]

no set neck, i know that for sure because i took the whole guitar apart getting the white paint of it.
it's a bolt on and a very nice construction.
it's a pitty i can't make vintageveenendaal this month lordbizarre, other wise you could see it yourself i was planning to bring it with me as a swap item or to sell.(only when it's bad weather i can make it)

Yeah the bolt on neck joints on these old Framuses are really tight. Looks set but isn't...
